  • Kyiv was attacked with ballistic missiles by Russia, causing fires and damage in the capital.
  • A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia, killing at least 111 people and injuring hundreds.
  • A large Wildberries logistics complex in Russia's Voronezh region caught fire, with the company stating it was attacked.

The past night saw multiple significant global events, including a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, ongoing rescue efforts in Colombia following a major earthquake, and a large fire at a logistics complex in Russia. Kyiv authorities reported that Russian forces launched ballistic missiles at the Ukrainian capital overnight, igniting fires and damaging buildings, particularly in the city center. This attack follows an increase in such missile strikes by Russia in recent weeks, which are difficult for many air defense systems to intercept. In Colombia, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake, the strongest recorded in the country in the 21st century, devastated western regions. The seismic event resulted in at least 111 fatalities and approximately 700 injuries in Cali alone. Buildings collapsed, infrastructure was damaged, and people were trapped under rubble. Rescue operations are continuing, with a notable success being the extraction of a six-month-old girl and her mother from a collapsed five-story building in Cali. Several regional airports were temporarily closed for structural integrity checks, and curfews were imposed in some cities amid fears of looting. Meanwhile, a fire erupted at the Wildberries logistics complex in Russia's Voronezh region. Russian company officials stated the facility was attacked, and personnel were evacuated. Social media footage depicted the massive warehouse engulfed in flames. The complex, located in Aleksandrovka, was inaugurated in November 2025 and had a capacity for over 90 million products. Additionally, Poland experienced severe storms and strong winds, leading to over 350 interventions by firefighters, primarily in the Mazovia and Kuyavian-Pomeranian regions. Thousands of customers were left without power, and fallen trees caused damage, including to a clinic roof in Warsaw. Rail services were disrupted, with some trains canceled and others delayed.
